Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0206508A2] A digitizer comprises a winding coil (7) for generating a magnetic field to indicate coordinate position in response to an energizing signal, a substrate (1) having conductive lines (Xi,Yj), a detector circuit for detecting phase inversion of an induction signal induced on the conductive lines and a counter (4) for measuring the time interval between the starting time of selecting one of the conductive lines and the detecting time when phase inversion occurs. A coordinate register (8) holds a coordinate value. A scanning circuit (2,3) selects the conductive lines in turn and is arranged to receive a gate signal from the counter at an input terminal thereof in synchronism with the energizing signal and includes a circuit (15), for example a decoder, for selecting one of the conductive lines when the gate signal is received.
